Halloween Party Barn :)

Today I'm feeling inspired by all of the beautiful fall colors up here in the mountains so I've been working on my Halloween Party Barn. I completed the basics of this project last halloween and I'm updating it a bit.

I started out originally with a wooden holiday creche I found at Hobby Lobby :). Then, I added the door and window and lots of industrial grade glow-in-the-dark (GID) paint.

One of the new additions to my party barn today is adding some fall leaves. I purchased this nice little kit on miniatures.com. It's easy to punch out the leaves and then glue them about.

I punched out the little leaves and then scrunched them up and glued them with white glue everywhere that the wind blew!

Then, I decided to paint the leaves to make them more realistic and multi-dimensional. These are the colors I used. I used a mix of watercolor and acrylic tubes I had around.

Here's the finished product. The leaves are all painted lots of colors and remind me of walking down a fall forest path. I also added some gorgeous handmade mushrooms by Lory's Tiny Creations.
